I’m curious about the turquoise in this bracelet too. It’s a Kirk Smith piece that is 5/8” wide and weighs approximately 72g. Each cab is slightly different from the others but seem to be from the same mine. Can anyone shed some light on this and help me figure out where the turquoise came from? Value would be a plus for my records. I certainly don’t intend to sell it. I love wearing it too much!
Thanks for the help!

Think of Royston when I see this… So pretty.

I wondered about that as well as Manassa. I just haven’t been around it enough to know. I know just enough to be dangerous.
Me too about the Manassa and the dangerous. Seems the Royston is clearer in the color areas and the Manassa has puffs of growth in the color areas. Sure we’ll get more opinion and knowledge to come along.
My fist thought was Carico Lake but now that you mention Manassa I like that better. It’s a gorgeous cuff either way.

It has those confusing colors of the stones mentioned. This is most likely Kingman Turquoise, use to be sold on white cards with these nice and easy to set symmetrical cuts. It comes in blues, greens, a lot of different colors.

Oh well, we tried to get wild and crazy. Kingman is good. The bracelet is solid and comfortable with good colored stones. I’m happy!
Thanks for sharing all your stuff - so beautiful! I am enjoying looking at it all.
